danzig blackacidevil (HOLLYWOOD RECORDS) Now here's an album that surprised the hell out of me. The Misfits rocked. Samhain was a killer band. The first two Danzig records were damn good. But lately, the new man in black has fallen off. I can't for the life of me remember a song off of Danzig 3, and Danzig 4's only saving grace was the single "Can't Sleep," but with blackacidevil, Glenn shows the world that he, like most artists, was just having a temporary slump. blackacidevil is Danzig's foray into dark electronics, and he shows that he has affinity for sequencers, drum machines and vocal distortion. Some might criticize the album for being overly influenced by groups like NIN, but who doing this sort of stuff isn't nowadays? Glenn take a different path than Trent Reznor, however, and comes up with something while worlds away, still does the Danzig name proud. |
